After dull Winter days it’s nice to see the colours of Spring coming out in the garden and these craft kits from Baker Ross are perfect for kids to make and brighten up the inside of the house too! From flowers to bugs, everything is bright and colourful and they are all so simple to make, that I find they have a wide appeal which both my 9 and 6 year olds love to get stuck into.
Without any hesitation, the children sat down and started making, colouring and sticking, they love these kits and it’s always a joy to see them engrossed in creating something we can enjoy to look at for the next few months.
I thought the Flower Suncatcher Decorations looked stunning strung across the kitchen windows catching the sun as it beams through. Everyone that has visited has admired these and they really brighten up the view.
These Creative Colouring Flower Wreaths are so simple but look so effective, the children are working their way through colouring the whole set so I can hang them up somewhere. They love dipping in and out of colouring these after school, at breakfast time etc.
How cute are these Bug Pom Pom Decorations? A simple pom pom ball with a few sticky accessories that makes them come alive. Making the pom pom is best suited to slightly older children so Mister B left these to Miss M to make. She’s finished this little ladybird and is currently working on a bee. I can’t wait to see the trio of finished bugs altogether, so cute!
One of the children’s favourite to make were these Peacock Crinkle Decorations, so simple by just fanning some crepe paper for the feathers and then just sticking extra details on. These look lovely on my kitchen wall and I think it’s great for the children to see and admire all the beautiful things they make everyday.
As you can see, Spring really has sprung inside my house with all these beautifully coloured crafts the children have made for me using the fun kits from Baker Ross. These make a great anytime activity, which children enjoy and love seeing the finished results!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.
Eager to start making decorations the children have been busy creating, loving every minute of putting these simple to use kits together. The scratch art caught both their eyes and they were engrossed in scratching the black overlay to reveal rainbow colours underneath.
The Santa and Elf foam sticky packs are really simple to assemble and kept the children occupied for ages creating all different combinations of glasses, hats, gloves etc. on the character templates. Again they look fabulous and I can’t wait to string them along my front room to add to the festive feel!
The children got stuck in straightaway, they love crafts and they love the ease and effectiveness of the Baker Ross kits. They always look so impressive when finished and we love hanging them up around the house to enjoy.
My favourite has to be these Autumn leaves, in bright Autumnal colours. The children loved creating these using coloured sand to pour onto sticky templates. You simply peel off the section of leaf that you wish to colour in and then pour the sand on. It really is that simple and the result is a stunning, brightly coloured leaf. I was keen to show these off so have tied the ribbons along a length of cord and have it hanging across my back doors to my garden and it always gets admired at by visitors.
We started with the Haunted House Photo Frame Magnet Kits which are super easy to make and look really effective which keeps little ones occupied and they get to see a great result within a short amount of time. All the pieces are made of foam and there are lots of brightly Halloween coloured shapes with a sticky peel off back which allows you to build up the images around the frame.
The next Halloween craft from Baker Ross are the super cute Pom Pom Decoration Kits. I absolutely love these as do the children who did require some assistance making these but they were really intrigued to see the wool turn into a pom pom shape. 
These look fabulous, Mister B made the purple bat which he is really proud of and his sister Miss M made the green spider.
My children were delighted with the Halloween crafting range from Baker Ross this year and think that all the items look great and it has got them increasingly excited for Halloween this year. They are now planning their costumes and deciding what designs we should carve in our pumpkins this year.
First up, my daughter had her eye on the Paracord Bracelet Kits, which we opened up and I helped her start one off. She was soon able to continue on her own, with a simple cross over and loop of the threads, a pattern soon emerged and it didn’t actually take that long to complete a bracelet. She was enjoying it so much, she sat and spent the afternoon creating all of the six bracelets in the pack. It kept her thoroghly entertained and she couldn’t wait to wear all of her creations!
Next up we tried the Sealife Spiral Notebook Kits, which I think look so cute once completed. They consist of a plain page spiral bound notebook with foam covers. There are sticky backed foam shapes with each one that turns into a different sealife creature on the front of each one.
The designs are simple and effective, even my 5yr old just got on with it and created the turtle all by himself. He even added some other effects to his finished design. I love these notepads and think they’d be great for a party activity, or something to do when you have friends over as it’s nice for them to take away an item that they can use after.
The Farmyard Stampers are fun for little ones. With familiar animals the set allows children to print out their own farm scenes. I put a large sheet of brown paper out in the garden and let Mister B stamp away for an afternoon over which he had great fun!
Both my children became completely engrossed in this activity, they really enjoyed it and I think their finished pictures look amazing. This is different from any craft they have done before and the results are so effective. We really loved doing this and is something they have already asked to do again.
The boxes looked bright and effective once complete and would make a great desk tidy or such like when given as a gift.
We also had a pack of Braiding cords, which I have to say I haven’t seen or done since my childhood. I couldn’t wait to show Miss M how they are done and completed this pink and purple one to show her. With so many colours in the pack you can really create any colour scheme you want to, and she is now working on a blue and white one for daddy which is about half way through. Great little activity to get little fingers to practice their fine motor skills on!
As usual we’ve loved the Baker Ross craft supplies and they have provided hours of fun for the children. Also some great kits that can be used for Father’s Day crafts too!
